Function 33#: Associate invoice templates automatically based on customer address
When a business deals with customers across various countries, there may arise a need to have different templates applied which caters to the customer's country specific billing requirements.
While we do allow users to associate the required templates to the customers manually, it could get tedious over time as your business expands.
For this scenario, you can build all the invoice templates with each country’s specification and name each template after the corresponding country.
For this scenario, you can build all the invoice templates with each country’s specification and name each template after the corresponding country.
Today’s custom function will then help you automate the appropriate invoice template selection at customer level based on the primary billing country of the customer.
Here's how the custom function will work:
Once you create a customer profile with a billing address and save the customer, this custom function will be executed. The function will check for the billing country chosen in the customer's address and automatically associate the corresponding template to the customer.
You can then cross-check the template applied by heading over to Sales >> Customers >> Click on the customer profile >> More >> Associate templates. The template that is automatically selected for 'Invoices' there will be applied for the future invoices of that particular customer by default.
Pre-requisites:
1. Create a Connection named "zbooks" to successfully execute the function. You can watch the GIF attached at the bottom of this post to learn how to create the connection.

2. Create invoice templates for each billing country and label each template according to its respective country.
Lets say, you're designing a template for a customer based out of Singapore, the template in this case should be named "Singapore".
